The recent trade of Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants has sent shockwaves through the fantasy baseball community. Devers, a 30-home run hitter and consistent fantasy scorer, now finds his production potential severely impacted by the move to Oracle Park, known for its pitcher-friendly conditions. Although he might maintain his power numbers, the shift could limit his run production significantly, reflecting the Giants' historical struggles in creating scoring opportunities.

The implications extend beyond Devers, with fellow superstar Juan Soto also under scrutiny after a disappointing season with the New York Mets. Despite a recent uptick in performance, Soto's value in dynasty formats may be influenced by his current home park's dimensions. Both players highlight the importance of ballpark factors in predicting fantasy performance.
